Collars...wearing in the house? Do you put a collar on your dog while in the house? I have not been putting one on Max because he uses a Puppia Harness for walks. I was putting his Home Again tag on his Puppia today when I thought "What if he runs outside and gets lost?". He does not have a collar on full time.:eek: What do you do?:confused: |
I keep Lucy's collar on at all times (except when she's having a bath!) We also use a harness for walks, but my reasoning is just like yours - she's a slippery little madam, andd I'm scared she'll just dash out of the door and disappear if someone has left the gate open. It seems like overkill using both, I know - but better safe than sorry, I reckon? |
I don't let mine wear collars in the house - I've heard too many horror stories of puppies choking/hanging themselves on their crates, x-pens, even heating vents:eek: |
Yogi wears his in the house, it has a bell on it so that I can keep track of the little scamp! :D But he only wears it when one of us is home. If we leave and he is in his ex-pen it comes off. I too, have heard of too many horror stores of them getting caught up on something. |
Both my girls wear their collars during the day. It has their tags on (by law we have to have on a tag with our house number/name, postcode, and our surname) and a bell so I can hear where they are all the time. We take their collars off at night so they're more comfrotable. My girls also wear harnesses when we walk. Jess :heart to |
Is your baby chipped? Don't put the home again tag on the collar. I don't put collars on my babies in the house. I really should because I don't walk them on a leash to go out. They go in my fenced yard, but I often wonder what if they run out of the gate when i open it, or what if they run out the front door when someone comes in. I just hate the collar in the house it looks uncomfortable and my babies just hate it all they do is scratch to try to get it off. |
All my Yorkies don't know what the word collar means . |
Mine wears a collar all the time and I will add a harness for walking (I recommenda Puppia). Sophie is sneaky will get out the door any chance she can. What is funny the minute she is out the door she stops and looks at me like "Come on" lets go play. |
My girl is so tiny still that I don't have her wearing one in the house. In fact going to Nini's last night was the 1st time I put one on her--just in case she tried to slip away from us--I included a slack leash, just in case. She has a microchip. But I wonder what the likely hood of someone actually turning her in would be? Back to the Just in Case way of thinking.:rolleyes: |
If you are going to have them wear a collar in the house, make sure it's one of the breakaway ones they make for cats. I have heard too many stories of collars getting caught on X-pens and other things and little dogs dying as a result. |
mine wear their collars all the time b/c they went through a stage where they liked to BOLT out of the front door when anyone came in or out-so I had to just in case they got lost. I just add a harness when we go on walks. I didn't want to have them wearing collars full-time at first but I have now realized what cute little fashion accessories they can be!:) |
Yes, Max is Microchipped. |
Twinkle wears a cat collar with her tags on but I take it off when I'm not home and at night. She wears a harness to walk. |

Thats why you take them off before you put them in thier crates or x-pens. ;) All my dogs wear thier collars at all times except for when they are crated. :) I dont ever leave the house with out my dogs crated so I dont worry about them hanging themselves on anything and when Im here they are always in constant supervision. :D |

Brownie wears a collar all the time. |
Penny is microchipped, wears a collar all the time except for when she's in her crate, and is walked on a harness. She has managed to get away from us twice so far, and she's not even two yet-- she's uncommonly naughty and a very strong little girl, and if she catches the scent of a rabbit or a mole or gosh knows what, she'll run for hours. I once had to enlist at least a dozen of my neighbors with their dogs (to lure her in!) and hot dog slices (to distract her while we snuck up on her) to recapture her after she managed to break her harness and take off running. So we have a plan, a back-up plan, and a back-up to the back-up plan. ;) |
Mine don't know what a collar is either. The tags that we have are small, they are hooked on one of the harness loops. The tag has a plastic frame over them so there is no dingling as they walk, the furbabies don't even know its there. However I heard about a yorkie in another neighborhood ... who had gotten out of the home, a man driving by saw the dog, stopped on the side of the road to motion the yorkie to come to him, the dog went along to the car, a neighbor saw this happening, but the man in the van told him, hey, this is MY dog and took off with it, the collar with the tags were ignored or thrown away by the "NEW" owner, so having tags on a collar doesn't always bring the dog back home :(. I am rethinking .... perhaps I will micro chip. |
Teddi wears a collar all the time because if she didn't she wouldn't jingle jangle and we wouldn't be able to hear her. It is horrible when she is silent because you don't know where she is and there is a chance of stepping on her. Her collar has a name tag and bell and another little charm. She is also micro chipped. |
No, never. |

My furbaby wears a collar all the time. She has 3 tags on it (1 with our home info, 1 for her rabies & the other came with the collar) so they make enough noise that I can hear where in the house she is. I to also put a harness on her when we go for walks. |
